hi,
i recently bought a couple of domains from someone. checked whois in both domaintools and who.is .Paid and got domain transferred/pushed

now when i check who.is again , the current whois shown is mine but in the archive , it's either not present / very old whois (instead of the person from whom i bought) .
so any other free tools( i don't have domaintools acc.) to check if domain is OK or not ( some are pretty old domains ) .

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

if you got the domains in your account, why worry about what archive's say?

if you checked whois before you bought them and were satisfied with the info... again why worry about something going wrong if you try to flip them?

maybe you just lucked-up on a good deal


or maybe the names are crap and the seller just unloaded his trash. :)

i don't think it's anything to loose sleep over



but if you still feel uneasy, enter the names in google and see what turns up

if they were stolen or something, then there may be some posts.
